Hopes and Dreams

On Hopetoun Street, where heritage charm meets everyday convenience, this freestanding Victorian timber cottage is ready for a fresh vision, offering a rare opportunity to create something unique in one of Kensington’s most admired pockets. Taking its place in a picturesque streetscape, the home is within an easy stroll to Kensington Village cafes, local schools, public transport, parks, cycling trails and Racecourse Road shops and restaurants. The house rests on a generous allotment of 141 sqm (approx), with the rare advantage of rear access from Harper Street providing potential secure off-street parking. Period character gives the house strong foundations, yet the interiors speak clearly of renovation—currently unliveable but full of possibilities for those eager to rebuild, restore and modernise (STCA). Whether you’re seeking a rewarding project, an investment with future growth or a place to plant long-term roots, this house combines an enviable position with outstanding potential. A Kensington Hill classic ready to be re-imagined.
